Facts about
Though Spencer Tracy had first / top billing on this picture and Frank Sinatra second billing, it is Sinatra's image who is centrally situated at the forefront of the movie's principal theatrical movie poster, not Tracy. Barbara Luna and Tracy are positioned secondarily behind Sinatra.
This picture's director, Mervyn LeRoy, said of this film in his autobiography, 'Mervyn LeRoy: Take One': " . . . what made it a problem was that the climactic scene involved a volcano, and that's the kind of thing you have to worry about and plan for with extreme care...It was done partly on a Hollywood sound stage, partly in the Hawaiian Islands. And we also used miniatures extensively. We built a mountain near La Jolla, on Gil Hodges' farm. Mostly, though, we shot in Lahaina, on the Hawaiian island of Maui. We built a lovely set there -an entire village, complete with a street, a church, and even a jail. Even though we were shooting in one of the most beautiful places on earth, it was a tough picture."
'Digitally Obsessed' said of this picture: "Even though they both began their careers at the movie studio that boasted the claim of "more stars than there are in the heavens" (MGM), it took nearly 20 years and a rival company to bring Frank Sinatra and Spencer Tracy together for their first and only collaboration." The teaming of Tracy and Sinatra in this picture was done at the Columbia Studios, not MGM.
